I thought for sure she would have ruined the movie, but she was actually able to turn herself off and be selina kyle, not anne hathaway trying to be julia roberts (as she is in 99 percent of her roles)
TDKR turned out to be my favourite film of the summer and hathaway played a big part in making the film so good

The show was probably the closest since '82, and Eddie Murphy time, to being centred around one and one person only... that being the great Bill Hader. It is glaring how weak the current female repertoire is thou, probably the worst since '94 (Sweeney, Cleghorne, Hutsell).

Why is it that 80% of the opening monolouges as of late have been song and or dance numbers? Who are the broadway fags writing this shit. Fuck I hate this show as of late . Its. Just. Not. Funny. Fire that old fuck lorne michaels and hire some actual talent to write some better sketches and monolouges for the show already.

I've kept watching because, honestly, what the fuck else is on at 11:30 on Saturday night? But I keep going in thinking it MIGHT have some funny moments and it just doesn't. Tonight's opening was brutal, and I have no idea why they do a song/dance number 90% of the time in the opening monologue. Only bit I enjoyed was the Homeland spoof.

Fav of the night (watching the left coast repeat & Rhianna is on her 2nd song so wrapping up). I just love Hathaway on SNL, she gives her all in every sketch and is just a joy to watch. But, like I said, that crossing eyed bit was too freakin awesome to watch.

I usually don't mind that look, and she can pull it off because she's freakin' Anne Hathaway, but it does point out that her ears are actually kinda, y'know, large. Something that was hidden forever. Maybe she should grow it out, if not to DRK length, but like a bob down to her chin that would at least, y'know, hide the ears.
But, honestly, if the most unattractive thing about a woman is her ears, I think she's pretty much one of the most beautiful people on the planet.

It has a few very funny parts here and there over the years, but it is what it is. Mindless entertainment in between whatever ever musical guest is trying to pimp their music, or host who's trying to pimp their latest movie/tv show.
If at any time since 1975 you've thought it was otherwise, well, it might be time to get laid on Saturday nights instead.
Or better yet forget that. Keep watching SNL and avoid re-polluting the gene pool at all costs.

...you can probably count the really funny skits since 1975 on just you and your imaginary girlfriend's fingers and toes.
1.) Samurai Deli
2.) Eddie Murphy Gumby/Mr.Robinson
3.) Point/Counter Point
4.) Belushi 'Don't Look Back in Anger'
5.) More Cowbell
6.) Church Chat
7..........) etc, etc.
But you'd be hard pressed to get to 40 really funny skits since 1975. But even if you'd double it and find 80, that's only 80 really funny skits in 37 years (something like 700 shows at 5 skits per show minimum, that's 3500 skits).
Even if there were 100 really funny skits, that's still only a hit rate of 2.9%. Doesn't really cut it as a comedy show.
It's clearly their to pimp other shit, or else it would have been cancelled for good long, long ago.

BTW the Lincoln/louie skit was hilarious. Homeland a ittle bit.
speaking of homeland for all you guys with vpn or torrent. damain lewis was hosting have i got news for you this week. HIGNFY i fear is on its last legs, but lewis puts it up a notch.
let it be known that i like Hathaway with long or short hair.

NBC, the commercials that you put before the commercials annoyed me enough to stop watching - and I'm someone who will probably watch on the 17th. What does your market research tell you when people who are quasi-fans are put off by the commercials before the commercial? Do they tune in or tune out?
Just sayin'.

Doesn't anyone else find Hathaway annoying? She reminds me of that over eager girl in high school who was in all the plays and kept trying to make sure everyone had as much school spirit as she does. I dunno why, I just find her irritating.
Oh, and I agree that no season has been 100% gold. The most interesting thing about watching the original cast era DVDs is seeing how many of their sketches weren't any good. It's weird to see entire episode instead of the same collection of "Best Of" sketches you always see.

Yes, we "got" the opening number in the monologue- it's just that it was lame, overblown and... obvious. Hathaway's talents were wasted and underused overall.
SNL is pretty consistently 5% wheat, 95% chaff. Their few moments of delight and surprise often seem almost accidental. They do seem to hit most consistently with the political stuff, but most of that is done now. Weekend Update is sometimes good but pretty limp last night. Drunk Uncle?! Stefon?! That's the best they can do?
Surely any list of "best of" must include Christoper Walken as Colonel Angus!

I mean seriously SNL post election with all the crazy ish that took place, and the best thing you came up with was Romney throwing Rove off of the balcony drinking Milk like beer. That thing was an epic misfire the Weekend update was weak.

People over 45 tend to romanticize the original SNL for purely nostalgic purposes as the FUNNIEST, MOST UNTOUCHABLE COMEDY SHOW EVER!
In reality, the first few years were exactly the same in terms of quality that the ENTIRE shows run has experienced, with a swing in quality from sketch to sketch rather than show to show or even season to season. THIS IS THE NATURE OF SKETCH COMEDY!

It did seem odd for them to throwing out softballs, not that SNL is particularly incisive, but between Rove's meltdown on Fox and Trump's meltdown on twitter seemed like there was fresher material they could have gone after other then Romney's blandness.
